We were up early so that we could go down to Rochester and get a good spot from which to see the Olympic torch go past, and we secured a position opposite the cathedral, and waited for the fun to start. As the crowds built, so did the atmosphere, and it was super to be a part of the Olympic torch experience. We were able to see a handover between torch-bearers (when the torches "kiss"!) and Jake was even able to have his picture taken with a torch-bearer and his torch.
Rumour has it that we might even see some summer weather during the next few days ...
